Hopefully, others in the community will share their experiences and what worked for them during their treatment journey.

I don’t take anything for anxiety . Except I vaped indica medical marijuana instead . But using it could be considered a sin by most churches . And smoking during treatment is Probably not recommended due to blood clots . A treatment plan for me, has been lots of prayer , reading the bible , and watching healing ministries on YouTube. Although these are not considered treatment plans , they have helped . Prayers for you . 🙏

I am sorry to hear about your anxiety I experience that also also a feeling of dread comes over me at times

They said they can't treat me until I have symtoms

I do eat edibles at times

I was taking vidadoza but it hasn't changed my platelets count so I'm getting blood transfusion I feel fairly good most days other days my strength is lessened with headaches

What kind of leukemia? I have been battling SLL for over 12 years along with PCV. That’s two incurable blood cancers. Point is, you can live a long time with cancer if you fight it along the way. That means changing your diet and managing your stress. Stress/anxiety - will kill you. I have dark days but even dark days are days. Look for joy in each day since we don’t know how many days are left. Reality is, know one knows, people get killed in accidents every day but you are alive. Yes we are sick, so do your best to get healthy and enjoy each day.

That was good advice thank you
